Philadelphia Rebels‘ 3rd NAHL year defenseman Billy Sheridan(2) was looking to step right into his college hockey game, but decided to wait after making an initial decision.

In 46 games last season, he came away with 33 points (10-23).

The 5’11” 172 lbs. blue liner from Sewell, NJ did a lot of his youth hockey in the New Jersey Rockets‘ system.

For 2026/2027, he commits to Neumann University Knights.

Undrafted, graduate goaltender Brad Arvanitis(32) takes a hot finish with D3 Babson College Beavers to a 1st pro contract with the very playoff ready Rapid City Rush.

In his ECHL debut, he scored a 5-1 victory.

The 6’2″ 180 lbs. net minder posted an 11-4-2 record with a 2.52 GA and .918 SV% in his final frame.

He’s definitely had an interesting little journey, first tending cage for EHLP team, Walpole Express before moving up to an NAHL season for Coulee Region Chill before heading to 2 seasons of limited use with UMass Minutemen.

The 24-year old will probably be able to excel in the league if he looks to stick around.

He only started one game his rookie frame before being dealt to Tulsa Oilers, where he played in 2 before being released and picked up by Pensacola Ice Flyers, which he stitched together an admirable 9-6-2 mark with a 2.71 GAA and .919 SV% in 20 SPHL games.

For 2023/2024, he picks up a deal with Maine Mariners, who likely saw him play in college some.

He runs an impressive regular season record of 20-10-1, but in the playoffs was stellar with a 1.69 GAA and .939 SV% to earn himself another contract to return to Maine.

In a 3rd season, he once again puts up impressive numbers, but now it’s time to look elsewhere and he signs in the EIHL with Guildford Flames for 2026/2027.

4th year defenseman Charles Martin(47) signs with HK Spisska Nova Ves in 2026/2027, his 1st foray overseas for pro hockey.

The 6′ 190 lbs. blue liner scored a pro best 14 goals and 27 assists in a full slate of 72 ECHL games last season, including winning the hardest shot competition at the 2026 All-Star Game.

He did 4 years at University Of Wisconsin-Superior Yellowjackets, scoring a college best 3 goals and 15 assists as a senior.

From Blainville, QC, we look for the 28-year old to do well in Slovak Extraliga, 2026/2027.
